i ^tumorous grpartwrnt. A Story from One of 'Jo's Boys.'?On one occasion the children were all gathered in a room, when they made a decree that every one who entered should tell a story. Mrs. Jo had just been trapped and made to pay her forfeit, when little five-year-old Robby came in, having got out of bed to see what was the matter, and dragged his bed cover with him. He was about to be turned ignominiously out, as one who could not pay the forfeit, when he protested vigorously against the sentence without a trial, and declared that he could tell "lots of ones" when he had "finked." Having deeply cogitated for a moment, perched on his mother's knee and wrapped in the gay coverlet, he told the following brief but tragic tale, with earnestness that made it funny. "Once a lady had a million children, and a nice little boy. She went up stairs and said, "You musn'tgo in the yard." But he wented, and fell into the pump and was drowned dead." "Is that all ?" asked Franz, as Rob paused our breath with his startling beginning. "No, there is another piece of it," and Rob knit his downy eyebrows in the effort to evolve another inaniration. "What cfld the lady do when when he fell into the pump ?" asked his mother, to help him on. "Oh, she pumped him up, and wrapped him in a newspaper, and put him on a shelf to dry for seed." Canal Traveling.?"Hallo, there, capting !" said a Brother Jonathan to the captain of a canal packet on the Erie Canal, "What do you charge for passage ?" "Three cents per mile and boarded," said the captaiD. "Waal, I guess I'll take passage, capting, seeing as how I'm kinder gin out walking so far." Accordingly he got on board as the steward was ringing for dinner. Jonathan sat down and began demolishing the "fixins," to the utter consternation of the captain, until he had cleared the tables of all that was eatable, when he got up and went on deck, picking his teeth very comfortably. "How far is it, capting, from here to where I got on board ?" "Nearly one and a half miles," said the captain. "Let's see," said Jonathan, "that would be just four and a half conts ; but never mind, capting, I won't be small; here's five cents, which pays my fare to here; I guess I'll go ashore now; I'm kinder rested eout." Anecdote of Horace Greeley.?Fanny Fern tells the following story of her first meet ing with Horace Greeley. He agreed to take tea at her house, and Mr. Parton gave her special injunction to have some stale bread on the table, as Horace G., he said, never touched hot biscuit. This was accordingly done, and when the great editor sat down to supper, a large supply of dry bread was placed close to his place. He, however, was not content with this, but peering across the table in his near-sighted way at the biscuit opposite, he stretched out his arm and proceeded to help himself, and actually made his entire meal of them. Mrs. Parton expressed her surprise at this, and said: - ;*? , "Why, Mr. Greeley, I read the Tribune for so long a time, that I thought you abominated hot bread ?' "Fannyreplied the sage Horace, helping himself to another biscuit, "do you always practice what you preach ? I'm sure I don't." "Clerk," said a tall Kentuckian to a hotel official, "this young woman and mo have eloped. Have you any marryin' facilities 'round here ?" The clerk replied in the affirmative, and the two were "spliced" in less than an hour. The bridegroom was evidently not yet satisfied, and lingered around the hotel book. "Clerk," said he, confidentially, at length ; "hadn't fe better change the register, and give us one room, now that we're married ?" "It's already done," replied the clerk ; "you're marked for the same room." "Well, clerk," replied the Kentuckian, niiir?lrlT7 "onn't vnn 111st shew me iit>. then. J J -f, , for I'm awful sleepy." - ? UoF* In a case of assault and battery, where a stone had been thrown by the defendant, the following clear and conclusive evidence was drawn out of a Yorkshire man : "Did you see the defendant throw the stone ?" "I saw a stone, and I's pretty sure the defendant threw it." "Was it a large stone?" "I should say it wur a largish stone." "What was its size ?" "I should say a sizeable stone." "Can't you answer definitely how big it was?" "I should say it was a stone of some bigness." "Can you give the jury some idea of the s>tone?" "Why, as near as I can recollect, it wur something of a stone." Can't you compare it to some other object?" "Why, if I wur to compare it, so as to give some notion of the stone, I should say it wur as large as a lump of chalk." A Third Party.?A preacher once met a pantheistical physician at the house of a sick parishioner. Jt was no place for any unbecoming familiarity with the minister, especially with any intent of entangling him in a debate ; and above all where the querist was too illogical for any local discussion. But the abrupt question of the pantheist was: "Mr. E., how old are you V* "Sixty, sir; and how old are you ?" "As old as creation," was the triumphantly reply. "Then you are the same age with Adam and Eve ?" "Certainly, I was in the garden when they were." "I have always heard that there was a third party in the garden with them, but I never knew before that it was you." A Frontier Wit.?"Old Trotter" is an eccentric genius, who drove the first stage out of Fort Kearney westward, and whose deeds and sayings will, in future, become historical. The following is related of him: One day he stopped a man on the road who drove a miserable team of sick and aged mules, and with the ejaculation, "Look a here, pilgrim; I know a man that would give $800 if he could see them." "Why," exclaimed the mau, startled by such an unexpected prospect ol luck," "yeou daon't say so. Who is'he?" "He's a blind man," said Trotter; "g'lang.' 1 j-?? */v \tntw vnrl; IQT A aowu-easuji"latciv ncui i,w a. v. and took lodgings at one of the high houses Telling the waiter that he wished to be call ed in the morning for the boat, they pro ceeded on their winding way upward, till, having arrived at the eighth flight of stairs Jonathan caugh the arm of hi3 guide, and accosted him thus: "Look here, stranger If you intend to call me at six o'clock in th< Ynorning, you might as well do it now; a t'will be that time afore I can get down again !' - m A clergyman who owned a farm, fount his plowman sitting on his plow resting hii horses.

"I don't see, for my part, what this coun try's coming to!" exclaimed my neighbor, a he dropped in on Monday evening ; "so man; of the best boys are quitting the farms. Why when I was a boy," he proceeded, warminj up with the recollection, "it was considered i religious duty for one of the sons in ever; family to succeed to the homestead of hi father; and the steadiest of his brothers pur sued the same honorable'calling. " Now an< then, a promising youth adopted a profession but, as a rule, not to be a farmer was though about equivalent to being a vagrant. iYtw how is it ? Why, bless me! three quarters o our boys are deserting the shelter of the farm roofs, leaving their fathers' acres to more pa tient plodders from Ireland and Germany, an< eagerly seeking refuge in the strange city What can have got into them " Such a state of things is surely to be de plored. The prosperity of a nation alway depends on the thrift and happiness of its ru ral people. The sources of this dissatisfactioi ou??ht to be removed. As thev are numer ous, so is the remedy complex. 1. The homestead must be made more attrac tive.?A thrifty farmer's boys generally se that their father's house is built more care lessly* and kept more slatternly than that o the city merchant. Their unconscious infer euce is that fine houses are the exclusive pro duct of the city ; their next deduction?"that' the place to live." What is the picture which they too oftei leave' behind when they take their flight ? I house unpainted and without blinds; a ban ' rickety and hastening to decay; rheumati fences, <|ffering,kindly passage to hungry hoi '"ses and filthy,'bony cows; in the foreground obtrusive piles of neglected tools, wagon wheels, old iron, and infinite rubbish ; in th 1 background, a dreary waste of skinned an< plundered fields! Without any expense, ex cept a little time and taste, our farmers' home ' can be embellished and rendered delightful 1 any only so can the best youths of this gene ration be induced to remain in the homestead of their fathers. 2. Farmers must seek a higher social train ing.?A few of the best educated and culture* ! men of America are farmers, and their studi ous sons are gracing the same occupation 1 But such are a small proportion of the whole "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, , But in ourselves, that we are underlines.>> Farmers ought, as a class, to cultivate bet ter manners in parlor, kitchen and field; a I fireside and table.

Only through human contact can w< , acquire polish, and, by lack of this attrition we, as a class, have come to undervalue th< affable manners which mark the gentleman Integrity and benevolence are not a guarantee of politeness; there must be added to thesi , intercourse with well-bred people. To recover what we have lost, or gain wha we have missed, let us seek to construct a so ciety about us, to encourage neighborhoo( gatherings, farmers' clubs, agricultural socie ties, and evening parties of every innocen kind, that may bring us in contact with oth ers. To this end let us try co-operative farm ing?thopsands fly to the city because the] wish to "see folks." To this end, also, we can if we will, learn from our wives, for they an often better read and usually better-mannere< than we. 3. Progressive farming must be substitute* for routine farming.?Abolish the ploddinj system ; break up traditional routine, and th< boys will stick to farming. Scientific farm ing does not mean the adoption of fancy theo i ries; it means learning from the laws of Na ture, and the experience of other practica farmers, how to exchange bad habits of hue bandry for better ones. Mind governs matter; and no art or pro fession demands for its perfect developmen so much general and special information, anc so' wkUj a range of science, as doe3 the tilling of the soil. Yet, agriculture, as commonlj practiced, is to-day behind every other art Farmers have studied less to master theii calling than have the members of any othei trade. How many thousands there are, ii every State, who never see an agricultura journal or book! Such farmers lack nev ideas more than they lack new implements Their minds need subsoiling more than thei: grounds! To make farming attractive to our boys, th< drudgery of routine farming must be givei up, and the scientific way must be taught This is the day of transaction between muscl and mind, between brawn and brain. Though is being introduced as a new lever to reliev the elbow. Inventive genius has strewn over a singl county of Ohio more agricultural machinery than could be found in the whole West a fev years ago; and it is changing the whole char acter of farming as an occupation. One in telligent man can do more than a stupid hun dred, and derive from it more pleasure an< profit. Farm machinery is not only labor saving, it is consequently civilizing, becausi it saves human toil, it tends to elevate ana re fine our people. $ * Progressive agriculture carries a blessing ti the future. The progressive farmer build tasteful and commodious dwellings, with fue and water convenient, and every accessor that can lighten the good wife's toil; he adorn his grounds from time to time with shrubs ant flowers; he grafts pippins and greenings 01 the native stock, sets out new orchards; am takes care of old ones ; he obtains the handies tools and houses them; he builds stalls fo cattle, and raises roots and steams fodder to feed them. He adapts the soil to the needs o vegetable life; if wet, he drains; if light o sterile, he turns under clover, and mixes mor tenacious soil; if sour and cold,hegives lime and he almost always plows deeply and man ures KberaHy.

My first recollectior s is of Indians coming in daylight, and driving y off our horses. My father and the herdsmen were out, and had a hard ride to escape the y arrows. One stuck in my father's hat, and J a have it now. My mother was so alarmed y that she fainted. I remember well how pah s and beautiful she looked, as ray father rubbed - her hands and bathed her face. I stood by I It was the first time I had ever felt or thought ; much. Presently she opened her eyes, and t looking at me said : 0 "My darling, kneel down by me, and lei f us thank God that your father was not killed - to-day." I did so, my father standing near. 1 After this my mother taught me, daily, how to say my name, my father's name and th< name of the State and county where I lived u I that if I should be taken bv the Indians and 8 ever escape, or be bought from them, I might - be able to tell who I was, and where I camt a from. When I was large enough to ride, ray fathei gave me a pony, a beautiful iron gray, verj i- gentle and very swift. I soon learned to ride e him, and ?o love him. One day, after I own y ed my pony a long time, and could ride well f I was out with father hunting cattle. Pres . ently we saw the cattle running in every dik rection, and one cow came up to us with at s Indian arrow sticking in her side. My fathei said: 3 "Now, my boy, we must ride for life. Youi i pony can outrun my horse; try to 'get home a my son." w c I started under ^hip and spur.> I was ex . cited and afraid, ^he dust $ear& blindec |} me; but I knew-my pony was taking me home h I heard a great crash among the rocks behind e me, and a groan. I stopped and looked back j My father was just behind me. His horst > had been Btricken with an arrow, and had s fallen under him. I jumped down and said "Papa, mount; pony can take us both y home!" s I felt like a man when papa said : "God bless you my son." And we both got home safe and sound, on the dear, good pony. 1 My mother was always uneasy about ra? . and lather when we were looking after stock ? 1-J-J i.?ii u:? i??a i. su lamer euueiuueu lu ecu ma nuioeo auu utv i. tie, and leave the frontier. I was old enough to be at school, and father thought my education must not be neglected. We packed pro r visions for two or three days, and took long * ropes to take our horses on the grass, and y started out with a number of herders to gathy er the stock. 8 Mother bade us good bye with tears in hei * eyes, and said: "I hope this is the last tims B my dear ones will ever go out from me in this l? wild country." e We had been out but two days, and had ' been very lucky in our hunt. Father and 1 e were a little way from the herders, lying or B our blankets talking. Father was telling me what I must do if the Indians should ever kill * him, when he saw about twenty-five savages J charging right down upon us. Father took 1 his six-shooter from his belt, and was saying y to me: * "Remember, my son, what I have told you, The Indians may kill me and take you captive. Be a brave, good boy, and try to get y back to your mother." '? I had a Derringer pistol, and took it in my B hand; I hardly knew what for, but thought 1 may be I could kill one Indian. Most of the herdsmen, I think, got away; but my pooi I father was surrounded ; he fought till he fell, Z then one big Indian cut around his head witb e a knife, tore off his scalp and struck me in the - face with it. AH the time of the fight I dc * not think I moved. I felt paralyzed. But - my father's blood struck in my face, roused 1 me. Without thinking of consequences I - fired my Derringer at the savage, and he fell. Immediately I was thrown down and tied, - hands and feet, with nywhide strings, rolled t and kicked about in tabe dirt, and much oi 1 my hjiir pulled out. Tften I was bound flat Z, on tfce back of a horse,land started off on a rgjallop? v S / jf How long this ride (lasted I do not know, f My sufferings were so great that I must have r been delirious, for I thought I must have 1 ridden through seas of blood and fire, and 1 was going through rivers of water. When 1 ' became conscious I was in deep water, the * horse was stumbling over rocks, and I was r frequently entirely under. The water had lengthened the raw hide bonds, and I could e feel. Oh! how I suffered. 1 After the Indians all got over the river, with all the horses they had stolen, they un0 bound me, took me off the horse, and loosed t my hands and feet, which were badly cut and e swollen. My head ached, O, so badly! and my eyes seemed to be balls of fire. My tongue e was so swelled and dry that it stuck to my 7 mouth. But I remembered all except the ? ride. That seemed to have been years ago, - The Indians had got home, I reckon, for there - were some tents and squaws and children; - and I saw my father's horse and my pony, 1 I couTd1 not get on my feet, though my bonds were loose. One old squaw brought 8 her little boy where I lay, and made him spit h upon me. Then she went away, and the boy stooped down and felt my tongue, and then 0 brought some water and poured upon it, and s put some in my mouth, and a portion ran 1 down my throat. After that I slept a lone j time, I reckon, for the sun was rising when I b awake, so thirsty and hungry, so stiff and so 1 sore. I had been lying in the dew all night i The good boy that spit on me, the day before) 1 brought me some more water and some meat, t I drank and ate, and then I remembered r what my father had told me, "to be a brave, a good boy, and try to get back to my mother." f I prayed to God, as my mother had taught r me from infancy, that he would take me home, e I do not know how long I had been with ; the Indians, but I had got well and strong, and had learned a good many things from them, such as swimming, shooting with bows i, and arrows, and to live a long time without s, eating. They had left off sticking me with ; arrows and throwing me in the river, and were I, as kind as they knew how to be. My boy a friend was very good; but all my thoughts v and prayers were about making my escape. 8 I was always watching for a chance, o One evening the 'hunters brought up theii 3- horses, and "hopped" them near the camp e- My pony was with\thera. I did ilot sleep h that night. There was no moon, Itat a little i- star light I prayed God to help me; and as ?. soon as all was still I crawled softly out tc where I had seen the horses, soon found m) i . x.? iv-i p pony, ana wuu a iug uiui. was iuuuu mo and his "hopples" I made a "bosall" rounc i- his nose, and mounted him. He was fat anc ir fresh, and the grass did not grow under hii feet. I had no idea where we were going e but pony knew. We travelled all night, anc e till sunrise the next morning; then I thoughi e we had better rest. So we went into a snu^ d little "mot" of timber, where there was som< e grass, and pony browsed and grazed ; but ] i- held him all the while. I cannot describf n how joyous and free I felt. I believed tha s God was taking me home, a I was afraid to ride in the day-time in tha strange, Indian country, bo, when I though pony was full, I hoppled him, and soon h< >s lay down, and then I laid down to sleep r, When I awoke the sun was down, and pon] n was standing by me. I thanked God for hij )f goodness, and we started on our journey 0 Next morning, after daylight, we came in t le road, and this helped me greatly. I wai t- nearly starved, for I had eaten nothing sinci r- I left the Indians. Pony, though he hac n traveled all night, now started off in a canter d and then he neighed, and very soon ran int< d a camp of white hunters. With them I ati and slept, and in a few days they took m< home. 1 My dear mother did not live many day a after I got home. When my dear father waj ie brought to her, murdered and scalped, anc >e her only child taken off by the Indians, he: )f heart was broken, and she prayed for death I told her what my father had said, and tha' {it was for her sake that I had dared to make I my escape; and she said : "God forever bless my child, be to him a : father and mother, and guide and direct him { in all things. And my son, when I am dead, p go to your grandmother. She is childless ' and lonely, and though I was disobedietitfsTie j , will be kind to you for my sake." - ( - When mother was buried I and pony start| ed for grandmother's. We are with her , now, and she is kind to us. 1 WHAT WILL HE BECOME. ; This question is often asked by parents in i , i regard to their sons, and by the friends of i many young men. And, although there ifc'no ; definite rule for ascertaining, we may get \ I some idea of what a young man will become by observing his actions and works. i Solomon said, many centuries ago,"^tiiat i r "even a child is known by his work, whether i i it be good or whether it be evil." The^fijee; i , when you see a boy slow to go to school iuI difiereut about learning, and glad of every i t opportunity to neglect his lessons, you may ; take it for granted that he will be a blockfieaa.

I When you see boys pouting and grumbling, , when told to do anything, and always displeased when they have any work to perform, i it is a sign that they will be good-for-nothing , men. But when you see boys that are kind and 1 i obliging to each other, obedient and respect ful to their parents, attentive to their studies j and duties, it is a sign that they will become ; good and useful men. < I When you see a boy that loves his Bihle, and is well acquainted with it, it is a sign of great future blessing from Almighty God. i When you see a boy that stays away from ' i theatres, grog-shops, ball-rooms and gambling 1 i houses, it is a sign that he will grow up a man in principle, knowledge and goodness.

"Yes." 1 [ "I hope you will hold on to that idea." " 1 At evening, as the two brothers were sittisg ' 1 on the porch of the farm-house, listening to i the notes of the whippoorwill, Henry asLwd , John why he thought that washing his has Is l would give him strength. 1 "Because I read it in the Bible," was the 1 1 reply. .1 1 "Where did you find the passage?" 1 ; "I will show you."

"Conscript Fathers : In these our days appeared a man named Jesus Christ, who is yet living among us, and of the Gentiles is accepted as a prophet of great truth; but his own disciples call him the Son of God. He hath raised the dead and cured all manner of . diseases. He is a man of stature somewhat tall and comely, with a ruddy countenance, such as the beholder may both love and fear. His hair is the color of a filbert when fully < ripe, plain to his ear, whence downward it is J of more orient color, curling and waving on his shoulders ; in the middle of his head there < is a seam of long hair, after the manner of j the Nazarites.

Some of the grandest spirits that the world has ever known?men whose works and memories are enduring?were regarded in youth as dunces. They flowered late, but bore the rarest fruit Sir Isaac Newton was pronounced a dunce in his early school days. He stood low in his classes and seemed to have no relish for study. One day the "bright boy" of the school gave him a kick in the stomach, which caused him severe pain. The insult stung young Newton to the quick, and he resolved to make himself felt and respected by improved scholarship. He applied himself resolutely to study, and ere long stood in his class above the boy who had kicked him, and ultimately became the first scholar in the school. Newton owned his pre-eminence in his philosophical studies more to perseverance and application than to any marvelous natu ral endowments. Oliver Goldsmith, than whom no boy could appear more stupid, was the butt of ridicule at school. A school dame, after wonderful patience and perseverance, taught him the alphabet, a thing which she deemed creditable to her skill, and which she lived to mention with pride when her pupil become famous. He made no progress in the exact studies, but liked history and Latin poetry. He was a sore trial to his ambitious mother, who made many fruitless efforts to quicken his wits by her sharp words. His relatives, teachers and schoolmates all told him that he was a fool, which verdict he did not dispute, but took.<good-humoredly. Even when he had Mpduced the "Traveler," an eminent en^shid to a friend," ".Sir, I do believ<fth,at Goldsmith wrote that poem, and that, let rue tell you, is believing a great deal." ' Sir Walter Scott was a dull boy, and, when attending the University at Edinburg, he went by the name of "The Great Blockhead." But he wasted no time on trifles, and, in pursuing a study that he loved, as, for example, history or the classics, he was persevering and methodical. He was one of those whose knowledge on a subject that interested him increased until it lay like a great volume in his mind. When WalterScott began to make use of that knowledge, society gave him another name, somewhat different from the Edinburg appellation, it was "The Great Magician." Hutton, the antiquarian, whose knowledge of books was remarkable, was slow to learn when a boy. He was sent to a certain Mr. Meat. He thus tells his experience; "My master took occasion to beat my head against the wall, holding by the hair, but he never could beat any learning into it." Sheridan found it hard to acquire the elements of learning. His mother deemed it her duty to inform liis teacher that he was not bright to learn like other boys. Adam Clarke was pronounced by his father to be "a grieves dunce," and Dr. Chambers was pronounced by his teacher as an "incorrigible" one. Chatterton was dismissed from school by his master, who finding himself unable tb teach him anything in a satisfactory manner, settled it that the boy was "a fool." AN HEROIC CABIN BOY. Duriug one of the wars between England and France, a fine, English merchant ship was purchased by a French vessel of war. The English commander, finding capture inevitable, quietly retired to his cabin, and resigned himself to his fate. Not so, however, with his heroic little cabin-boy, Charles Wager. He had formed a scheme by which he hoped to 3ave bis own ship, and capture the threatening enemy fast bearing doWn upon them; and he had no sooner communicated his plan to the crew than they heartily agreed with it, placed themselves under his orders, and awaited with firmness the moment to carry their enterprise into effect. The suspense was of short duration, for the Frenchman was soon alongside,.aryl immediately grappled fast t<? the unoffending merchant-ship. As Charles had anticipated, the conquerors, elated' with the acquisition of so fine a prize, poured into his vessel in crowds, cheering and huzzaing, and not foreseeing any danger, left but'few men on board their own Bhip. Now was the moment for Charles, who, giving his men the signal, sprang at their head on board the opposing vessel. While some seized the arms which had been left in profusion on her deck, and soon overpowered the few men left on board, the others, by a simultaneous movement, relieved her from the grapplings which united the two vessels. Our hero, now having command of the French vessel, seized the Kolm nln^or? nut. nf hnarHinrr diatAnp.fi IIVlUJj J/1UWU UVA WMV v* WM. and hailed, with the voice of a conqueror, the discomfitted crowd of Frenchmen who were left on board the peaceful bark he had just quitted, ordering them to follow close in his wake, or he would blow them out of the water?a threat they well knew he was very capable of executing, as their guns were loaded during the chase. They sorrowfully acquiesced with his commands, while gallant Charles steered into port, followed by his prize. The exploit excited universal applause. The master of the merchant-vessel was examined by the Admirality, when he stated the whole of the enterprise as it occurred, and declared that Charles Wager had planned and effected the gallant exploit, and that to him alone belonged the honor and credit of the achievement. Charles was immediately transferred to the British navy, appointed a midshipman, Hid his education carefully superintended. Be soon after distinguished himself in action, and underwent a rapid promotion, until at length he was created an admiral, and became Sir Charles Wager. ? ? ? WHAT WE SHOULD EAT. Those who expect to think, says the Phrenological Journal, should not cat much food which simply produces warmth and fat, such is ham, fat pork, white bread, butter, rice, tapioca and starch. These contain very little phosphatic food, being carbonaceous. The proper food for laboring men?we mean those who have to exercise muscular strength jhiefly?should be that which contains the greatest amount of nitrogen. Among these barely and cheese stand high. The red flesh if tWpx or sheep and unbolted bread are the l^^Karticles. Men who train prize-fighters HHLunderstand much better than others* IB^tfouild up physical strength and endurance. When their battle or their race is 3nded, they lay aside their unbolted bread and fruit, their lean beef and mutton, and fall into their old habits of liquor-drinking and of eating starch-bearing articles, such as rice, fine bread, pudding, with fat meat and butter, and they soon become as fat an*d lazy as the carbonaceous articles can make them. Tf a man wants tn stand the cold he inav jat buckwheat cakes with butter, syrup, fat pork aud white beans ; but let him look out when hot weather comes for bilious fevers, pimples ou the face and a rank smell of the whole system, and a muddy, dirty complexion. Men living at the north pole, or near it, csn drink fish oil by the quart, or eat pounds of cake tallow, and the cold clima^p will burn it out; but in warm or temperate regions the food should be so selected as to furnish nourishment for muscle, bone, brain, and warmth in proper proportions. The student should eat articles which are pretty largely charged with phosphates or brain food; the laborer, those articles containing nitrate or food for muscle; and those who are much exposed to cold, but not required to exert muscular strength, that kind jf food which is largely charged with carbonates or heat producers. Description op Christ.?The following jpistle is said to have been taken by Napoleon from the records of Rome, when he deprived that city of so many valuable manuscripts. It was written at the time and on ;he spot where Jesus commenced his ministry, oy Publius Lentulus, Governor of Judea, to ;he Senate of Rome, Caesar, Emperor. It ivas the custom in those days for the Gover color 01 ms nair ana tmcK; not 01 any lengtn, but forked. In reproving he is terrible; in 1 admonishing, courteous; in speaking, very modest and wise; in proportion of body, well : shaped. None have ever seen him laugh? many have seen him weep. A man, for his surpassing beauty, excelling the children of , men." 5 > i Management of Brooms.?If brooms are ? wet in boiling suds once a week, they will be- ; come very tough, will not cut a carpet, last j much longer, and sweep like a new broom. ' A handful or so of salt, sprinkled on the car- ! pet will carry the dust with it, and make the carpet look bright and clean. A dusty car- ! pet may be cleaned, by setting a pail of cold water out by the door, wet the broom in it, knock it to get off all the drops, sweep a yard or so, then wash the broom as before, and sweep again, being careful to shake all the drope off the broom, and not stVeep far at a timd> if donecare, it will [clean a carpet very nicely, ana you will be surprised at the quantity of dirt in the water. The water may need changing once or twice if the car- , pet is very dirty. Snow sprinkled over a car- < pet, and swept off before it has had time to dissolve or melt, is also nice for renovating a soiled carpet. Moistened Indian meal is used with good effect by house-keepers. What is said in the following, is true: In many town and city houses, the apartments receive but one thorough sweeping a week. Brooms wear out carpets quite as much as feet do. Fat Men.?It ia a striking fact that most persons want to weigh more than they do, and measure their health by their weight, as if man were a pig, valuable in proportion to his heaviness. The racer is not fat?a good plow horse has only a moderate amount of flesh. Heavy men are not those which experienced contractors employ to build railroads and dig ditches. Thin men, the world over, are the men for endurance; are the wiry and hardy ; thin.people live the longest The truth is, fat is a disease, and as a proof, fat people are . never well a day at a time?are not suited for hard work. Still there is a medium between as fat as a butter ball and as thin as a fence , rail. For mere looks, moderate rotundity is most desirable, to have enough flesh to cover all angularities. To accomplish this in the shortest time, a man should work but little, sleep a great part of the time, allowing noth- . ing to worry him, keep always in a joyous, laughing mood, and live chiefly on albuminates, such as boiled cracked wheat, and rye, and oats, and corn, and barley, with sweet milk, and buttermilk, and fat meats. Sugar is the best fattener known. What is a Carat??The carat is an imaginary weight that expresses the fineness of ' gold, or the proportion of pure gold in a mass .< of metal; thus, an ounce of gold is divided ! into twenty-four carats, and gold of twentytwo carats fine is gold of which twenty-two parts out of twenty-four are pure, the other two parts are silver, copper or other metal; the weight of four grains, used by jewelers in weighing precious stones and pearls, is sometimes called diamond weight?the carat con- , /sisting of four nominal grains, a little lighter : than four grains troy, or Aeveuty-tour ana ; one-sixteenth'carat grains b?ing equal to sev- y tnty-two grains troy, -i Thejterra of weight / icarat derives its name from a bean, the fruit of an Abyssinian tree called kura. This bean, from the time of its being gathered, varies very little in its weight, and seems to have been, from a very remote period, used as a weight for gold in Africa. In India also, the bean is used as a weight for gems and pearls. ? * j Stick to One Thing.?Every young man,, , after he has chosen his vocation, should stick; to it. Don't leave it because hard blows are to be struck, or disagreeable work performed. Those who have worked their way up to wealth and usefulness do not belong to the shiftless and unstable class, but may be reckoned among such as took off their coats, rolled up their sleeves, and conquered their prejudices against labor, and manfully bore the heat and burden of the day. * - . Remedy for the Ear-Ache.?My wife was once suffering intense pain from ear-ache caused by a tumor inside, and after our remedies all failed to give relief, I called in a neighbor, who poured vinegar upon a hot brick, and with a funnel conducted the steam into the ear. Relief was quick and permanent.?Exchange.
